Sgs 30471 Ball End Mill 0.0156 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 30471 is a single-end ball end mill engineered for precision small-diameter milling in demanding applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it features a 0.0156 inch (1/64 inch) cutting diameter and a 0.0313 inch (1/32 inch) length of cut. The AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance and surface hardness, supporting higher cutting speeds and extended tool life in abrasive or hard materials. With a 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration and a 30-degree helix angle, this end mill delivers efficient chip evacuation in tight, detailed cuts. It is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom professionals working on CNC milling equipment.

The SGS 30471 is suited for finishing and semi-finishing operations requiring a very small ball nose profile. Its 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets commonly found on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. Compatible workpiece materials include hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, high-temperature alloys, and various plastics and composites, consistent with the SGS primary material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in fine-detail milling
• AlTiN coating for improved thermal resistance and longer tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 0.0156 inch ball nose diameter enables precise small-radius and contour milling
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Single-end design with 1/8 inch shank for compatibility with standard CNC collet systems
• Series 3B regular-length geometry balances reach and stiffness for stable cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and milling machines accepting a 1/8 inch shank collet; compatible workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as designated by SGS Series 3B specifications.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the collet. Verify collet size matches the 1/8 inch shank before tightening to manufacturer collet specifications. At this diameter, secure workpiece fixturing and minimal runout are critical to prevent tool breakage during operation.
